Transformative digestion in the sense that it simas at changing national societies international relations and the emerging global society

Basis of theory

Marx critical mode of jnqusrry was grounddd on the will to understand social developments in industrialized societies including contradictory inherent in capitalism that would lead to its collapse

Cox set out to explain that the need to see global politics as a collective constriction evolving through the complex interplay of state substate and trans state forces in economic cultural and ideological spheres

Power is understood in the context of a set of d,obslized relations of production demanding the transformation of the nation state and depends on the combination of material elements and ideas for acquiring legitimacy

Can be seen as an instrument of the powerless to advance more equatable types of global relations

Challenge for critical theory

Is not connecting theory to practice

(Copy paste the example here)

Critic,a theory more than other approaches promises to go deeper in understanding why refugees have to leave their homes. This entails producing knowledge about reasons but also about global students of power and harm as well as the agents complicent in it

They reward for someone following critical theory is that they are able to understand to the full that theory is always imo,I aged in practice and that the way we conceive the refugees crisis shapes the kind of solution to the curious when political actors embrace cosmopolitialn criteria that balance the whole glance of interests and respect the rights of everyone
